12 days

Paris, Davos

This Global Leadership Summit experience will take place over July 4–15, 2019—combining an immersive educational tour with a three-day leadership conference.

Summit Tour:
Art has always been one of the most meaningful ways we communicate and react to the world around us, and on this tour, you’ll gain insight into why as you immerse yourself in a city that’s celebrated for its artistic identity. No country has a richer art tradition than France, and Paris’s famed museums showcase many of its finest achievements. Step back in time to learn how one city fostered so many of history’s most accomplished artists, and experience the expressive power of Paris today.

Leadership Conference:
Join teachers and students from around the world in Davos, Switzerland for a weekend-long leadership conference happening July 12–14. Hear from world-renowned speakers on the Summit theme, attend expert-led workshops, and gain insight into The Power of Communication and everything impacting it today.

Using design thinking—a creative problem-solving technique that's been adopted by companies like Apple and Google—international teams of students will develop and present innovative solutions to communication challenges around the world.
